Please accept my apologies for being out of the loop for so long. I just came back from a two-month medical leave, and I'm still catching up on everything I missed!

Thank you for all the feedback on our BTR article in CAL's Winter 2011 issue. I really appreciate your enthusiasm and support!

I wish I could be there in Dallas with all of you to talk in person about the follow-up piece as well as the rest of our agenda items, but I'm afraid I have to send along my regrets. I'm planning to spend some time with the Midwinter agenda today, so I'll type up my thoughts and questions, which I hope to upload by tomorrow.

Regarding the follow-up piece for CAL's Summer 2012 issue (which I haven't had a chance to start yet), it will be much briefer than the first article, with the copy deadline in early March. I'm open to everyone's suggestions about what direction to take it and what we might want to highlight! I really need to start working on the article, so I'm eager to hear any thoughts you might have.

Thanks, everyone! Enjoy Dallas!
